Slab Wave Potential

OCEAN WAVE ENERGY

A slab is a piece of reef that sticks out in deep water or deep water sits behind it. Most slabs break in the same spot. In the figure below, the HUGslab wave, 1, moves fast and hits a shallow reef, 4, at full speed. It lifts out of nowhere within seconds. HUG Slab waves are heavy reef breaks coming out of deep water and breaking in very shallow water. As a thick lip unloads on a shelf, the water doesn’t have anywhere to go but upwards overtoppinginto a reservoir with all their open-ocean energy intact. That energy gets focused as the depth suddenly decreases.

The Great Lakes and the HUG System The water level behind the Otto Holden Hydro Dam on the Ottawa River can be maintained at 179.5 m above sea level, while the water level in Lake Huron is 176.5 m. This difference of 3 m is the basis of water transfer through a HUG Siphon System for … Continue reading FRESH WATER TO GREAT LAKES 2→

ENERGY FROM RAPIDS This large Ottawa River reservoir of rapids can add 70 MW power without impacting on the environment. The Kipawa community, would benefit from its kinetic power of rapids. This would provide a return on investment within just a few years. The 132 MW Tabaret project will eliminate the aquatic ecosystem of the Kipawa River to … Continue reading Kinetic Power of Rapids 2→

Ocean Wave Electricity Here is the SECRET! The HUG Wave Energy innovation adds over three times the increase of velocity created from its vortex. The turbine’s power is proportional to the cube of its average velocity. Thus, a doubling of the average speed of the flow results in an eight-fold increase in its power, which results … Continue reading HUG WAVE ENERGY INNOVATION 2→

GREAT MEGA DROUGHT COMING The U.S. Southwest and Central Plains regions are likely to be scorched by a decades-long “mega drought” in the second half of this century if climate change continues unabated, scientists from NASA and Cornell and Columbia universities have warned. In a study published by the journal Science Advances this week, the … Continue reading MEGA DROUGHT 2→

HYDROGEN ENERGY COMING Allow us to introduce hydrogen electrolysis. Because hydrogen is a clean universal fuel that can be used to power buses, trucks, cars, planes, trains, boats and ships. There is no carbon imprint and it is renewable and sustainable. SMOG IN CHINA China’s ‘airpocalypse’ kills 350,000 to 500,000 Chinese each year. China is … Continue reading HYDROGEN ELECTROLYSIS: the SECRET 2→
